    As if advertisement wasn’t already the most insidious part of everyday life, now they’re also laughing at us and the capitalist hellscape they’ve put us in.

      Not really capitalism if they got the government’s economic and political support against competitors. I’d really call it Neomercantilism more than anything

                    They meant Citizens United v. FEC, a supreme court case that allowed much more election advertising.

              No, this shit comes from capitalism, which got corrupted by direct government intervention in the economy for some “muh we gotta save them” bs

              The government should make the rules, not play the game

                Capitalism itself is corrupt, lol. Any class-based system will be.

                    Do you think systems built upon class hierarchy are resistant to corruption?
